Wohler Expands Reseller Agreement With Brazil's CIS Group to Include File-Based Product Family

Wohler's File-Based Line Will Help Increase Efficiency and Profitability for Latin American Media Companies

SAN FRANCISCO -- Aug. 19, 2014 -- Wohler Technologies today announced that CIS Group, already a part of a select global network of value-added resellers for Wohler's baseband and stream-based product lines, will now represent Wohler's line of file-based products, as well. Key among them is Cinnafilm(R) Tachyon(R) Wormhole(TM), an automated file-based retiming solution based on Wohler's RadiantGrid Intelligent Media Transformation Platform(TM). CIS Group will resell Tachyon Wormhole and Wohler's other file-based appliances in Brazil and select Latin American regions, where media companies are looking for ways to trim costs and monetize their content.

"We see great potential for both RadiantGrid and Tachyon Wormhole in the Brazilian market because it's a technology that will help both large networks and regional stations increase revenue potential," said Guilherme Silva, CEO and president of CIS Group. "CIS Group has been a leader for many years in bringing IT-based solutions to Brazilian media companies. Tachyon Wormhole fits this long tradition and will allow us to offer new ways of meeting our customers' needs."

Wohler serves as the exclusive master distributor for Tachyon Wormhole, which is based on the RadiantGrid platform and enables up to a ±10 percent runtime adjustment while preserving not only video and audio quality, but also closed caption integrity. Wohler offers the product directly and through select resellers. Wohler's other file-based products include the RadiantGrid Media Transformation Platform and WohlerLoudness loudness-correction software.

"CIS has an extensive customer base within the Brazilian market and a deep understanding of marketing, selling, and supporting cutting-edge solutions such as Wohler's file-based product lines," said Craig Newbury, vice president of sales at Wohler. "That combination gives us access to the growing Brazilian market through a partnership with a true value-added reseller."
